Join for a pro-life luncheon next Saturday, September 7th from noon to 2pm! At the Knights of Columbus Hall, 906 Central Ave W, Great Falls, MT. We will discuss the upcoming 40 Days For Life campaign (which runs thru October), and also learn about the important pro life issues for Montana to be voted on in the November Election. Lunch is free!
We discuss St Thomas' treatise on the Eucharist in the Summa Theologica, in honor of the Bread of Life Discourse and the Vatican's declaration of Jubilee Celebrations of St Thomas Aquinas.
In this sermon, we look to ST III, qq.75-77. Why it is that the Eucharist cannot merely be a symbol, and how it is that the whole Jesus is present in this Sacrament. Also, we discuss the accidental properties of bread and wine which remain, even though the substance has changed to the Body and Blood of Christ.
